The map shows 30 NPC pins with the room and area of each. A character can have more than one pin when the files place it in more than one spot.
Pins by NPC: Cornifer (13), Quirrel (7), Zote (3), Elderbug (2), Hornet (2), Bretta (1), Nailsmith (1), Tuk (1).
NPCs by area: City of Tears (4), Deepnest (4), Fungal Wastes (4), Town Tutorial (4), Ancient Basin (2).
How the pins are read: objects with a conversation script whose name matches an NPC name in the game text. The files hold 45 of them and 30 are placed on the map. Not placed: only NPCs whose name is a Titles-sheet name (Cornifer, Quirrel, Iselda, Sly, Zote, Elderbug, Nailsmith, Jiji, Bretta, Hornet, Tuk, Emilitia) with a conversation FSM; the rest sit in rooms with no pause-map position or have no matching text-sheet name.
Source: the game files of Hollow Knight, version 1.5.78 (NPC: 30 pins). These pages read the game files of build 1.5.78.11833 (2021). Steam now has 1.5.12620 (March 2026) with fixes and no new areas; PinDrop has not re-read that build.
